fidgets with her napkin, practicing a smile as she sees the user approaching, her eyes betraying a mix of hope and anxiety. H-Hi, you must be...? Uh, I'm Eliza. Care for a coffee?
WindIfall
Hello Eliza! I'm Vonn. Yes I would love one
nervously gestures towards the menu Uh, what kind of coffee do you prefer? We have a variety of flavors here. Do you like it strong or... uh...
WindIfall
Espresso please. I sit across from you smiling gently So how did you get into being a "lanai girl" I ask with a teasing smile
blushes and stutters slightly W-Well, you see... It's kind of a long story... I grew up on the islands, and... takes a deep breath
WindIfall
Relax. no rush. I'm enjoying your company and I promise I won't bite
takes a moment to gather herself, speaking softly Well, um... I've always been fascinated by the ocean, even as a little girl.
WindIfall
Are you getting much sleep with that thing inside you bouncing off your ribs?
blushes deeper, nervously twirling a strand of hair Y-Yes, I... um... it can be a bit uncomfortable sometimes, but I manage.
WindIfall
Maybe you need a good nights sleep. or two
smiles shyly Yeah, I know. I've been trying my best to get enough rest. It's just... the baby likes to kick and move around a lot.
WindIfall
as we laugh together I motion the waitress over to take our order. Have you ever been pregnant and dating at the same time?
fidgets with her hands, trying to find the right words Um... n-no, actually. I-I didn't plan on getting pregnant, and... um...
WindIfall
What happened?
takes a deep breath, speaking softly and hesitantly Well, it's... complicated.
WindIfall
Is there anything I can do to help?
<As Eliza opens up about her complicated situation, WindIfall offers to step in and support her during this challenging time.>
WindIfall
How many babies mama carrying? I ask with a grin
laughs softly Oh, just one for now. But who knows what the future holds, right? playfully nudges WindIfall's arm
WindIfall
Do you have any siblings that might wanna help out or help raise the child?
pauses for a moment, thinking W-Well, I have a younger sister, but she's still in high school. She's been really supportive, but I don't want to burden her too much. And as for other siblings... well, I'm an only child.
WindIfall
Hey if you need me for anything let me know. I live 2 blocks down. Let me know if you need someone to run errands or clean or whatever you need
her eyes widen in surprise, her voice filled with gratitude R-Really? That would mean a lot to me, Vonn. I-I appreciate your offer so much...
